the docotrs did tell me if i had a baby it could cure me Have you done research on it? yes, it says in some women it works, and sometimes it doesnt and it can make it worse, everyones different Yeah. Everyone is different. You just have to decide for yourself if you want to take that risk. yes thats right, and as mine as failed with about 7 operations, im doubtful it would cure me anyway, and thats if i can get pregnant I'm sure you can. I got endo after having my first child. I've had 3 since then. congrats, and i really hope i can get pregnant, else thats my dreams shattered I'm sure you can. My baby sister has the same problem and she just recently had her third child.

if so, then why do women have more babies?? I sometimes wondered about becoming a woman and having a baby

I have scar tissue so bad, that it affects my bladder, intestines, and stomach. same here, im waiting for a operation on my bladder, and the endo as also spread to my bowells and twisted them I am so sorry. I feel for you. I hope everything goes well for you. Endo has spread to my intestines. I cannot have bowel movements without medicines to make me go. I wish both of you could just go to my surgeon. I'm trying to locate him right now just in case one of you wants his info. He was the best in the bus. back then and has 12 years more experience now. Really a brilliant man! I've tracked him to two different hospitals now, but lost the trail there so far. If he's still in surgery, I WILL find him. He was young then, so I can't imagine he's retired yet. I'll make a few calls tomorrow and let you know. Even if you just hang on to the info just in case...you never know. It's upsetting me that I'm pain free from stage 5 disease, while you are both is such terrible pain. Bless you both!

It depends on if the tubes are blocked with tissue...there is a dye test they can perform during your surgery to indicate if you'll have fertility issues.

Women, unlike men, seem to be wired in such a way as to forget the severity of pain over time. It's why we can see something that we know would hurt and sympathize, but not feel as if it happened to us. But when men see something that hurts, in a way, they experience the pain over again, if it is something that has happened to them. One day in high school, I did the splits. Only like sliding into a base. I was walking down a slick tile hallway at a dance in my nylons. No shoes allowed in the gym at dances. I started to slip and just went into the splits and slid to the group of friends I was heading for. It was funny. I'm used to the splits so it didn't bother me a bit. Three guys grabbed their crotches and collapsed to the floor in pain. Just from the memory of getting hurt there.

Ladies...I will never complain about my horrible migraines again.... I am so lucky to not have what you have.I have heard stories but reading this really has put things in perspective... My goes out to you and any woman who has this condition... As far as childbirth...My first I had a epideral...that didn't work.. My second..I went all natural...they had to give me a shot in my thigh afterwards.... I *****ed more about that and refused it...which I lost that battle.. The pain was 100 times worse than that little shot.. But when u go into labor...ur mind and body are prepared hormonally...in a way...which makes most be able to deal with it..and keep having more... once the head is out the pain at least for me was over immediately... You know longer care about anything except to see your beautiful baby... I wanted 4....I have 2....and I still miss not having 4...but thats just the way the world turns... I say don't be afraid....regardless of pain..it is the best experience to be able to give life..bring life into our lives and the world...
